Dose anyone know a way to stop it when someone comments on a post it move up the list.

Deprecatedz

Are you really looking for a forum?

R_J

If you are using Bootstrap, create a css rule like that:

ul.Discussions li.Item {
  position:static;
}

so that they cannot move anymore!

Or maybe

ul.Discussions li.Item::after {
  content: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
}

---

Just joking...
That's the way "Recent Discussions" should be interpreted. You might like to look at yourforum.com/categories/discussions in order to get another way of showing discussions.

You can sink discussions, that you don't what to move up. it is usually done on an individual basis.

hgtonight

You should be able to change the sort order via a config option.

Try adding $Configuration['Vanilla']['Discussions']['SortField'] = 'd.DateInserted'; to your /conf/config.php file.

You can also change the sort direction with $Configuration['Vanilla']['Discussions']['SortDirection] = 'asc'; // or 'desc'

Thank you @hgtonight

@hgtonight I was able to get it to stop moving but do you know how to do this with the date not update when someone comment to?

x00

You would need to sink the discussion on update.

    public function CommentController_BeforeUpdateCommentCount_Hander($Sender, $Args) {
           $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion']['Sink'] = TRUE;
    }

You could put that in a themehook file, I'm not going to help you more than that.

I did it @x00

You don't want the last update date shown? I would hook the discussions view:

public function discussionsController_beforeDiscussionName_handler($sender) {
  $discussion =& $sender->EventArguments['Discussion'];
  $discussion->DateLastComment = $discussion->DateInserted;
}

What file? I been trying do this for like 1hr

Don't pick files out willy nilly. Add that code to your themehooks or into a new plugin.

Please read the plugin quick start to understand what is happening: http://docs.vanillaforums.com/developers/plugins/quickstart/

See this is why I voted against smilies on a support forum.

It should actually be

public function CommentModel_BeforeUpdateCommentCount_Handler($Sender, $Args) {
     $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion']['Sink'] = TRUE;
}

R_J

And add an "l" to "Hander" and a "$" to Sender

public function CommentModel_BeforeUpdateCommentCount_Handler($Sender, $Args) {
     $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion']['Sink'] = TRUE;
}

x00

indeed.

Like this?

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

// Define the plugin:
$PluginInfo['VizionHooks'] = array(
   'Name' => 'VizionHooks Plugin',
   'Description' => 'VizionHooks Plugin.',
   'Version' => '1.0',
   'Author' => "VizionStudiosMc",
   'AuthorEmail' => 'support@vizionmc.com',
   'AuthorUrl' => 'https://vizionmc.com/',
   'MobileFriendly' => TRUE,
);

public function discussionsController_beforeDiscussionName_handler($sender) {
  $discussion =& $sender->EventArguments['Discussion'];
  $discussion->DateLastComment = $discussion->DateInserted;
}

?>

R_J

Not bad!

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

// Define the plugin:
$PluginInfo['VizionHooks'] = array(
   'Name' => 'VizionHooks Plugin',
   'Description' => 'VizionHooks Plugin. All brain work done by hgtonight - many thanks to him!',
   'Version' => '1.0',
   'Author' => "VizionStudiosMc",
   'AuthorEmail' => 'support@vizionmc.com',
   'AuthorUrl' => 'https://vizionmc.com/',
   'MobileFriendly' => TRUE
);

class VizionHooksPlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {
  public function discussionsController_beforeDiscussionName_handler($sender) {
    $discussion =& $sender->EventArguments['Discussion'];
    $discussion->DateLastComment = $discussion->DateInserted;
  }
}

Deleted the "," in line 11
Added class in line 14
Deleted closing ?>

But I do not have a clue if this will be working as you expect it, but since you simply copied @hgtonight, I guess it's working flawlessly

The plugin did not work

It should not update Most recent by or The time it was post.

My crystal ball clearly needs some polishing.

I am confused as to what you are trying to achieve. I believe a screenshot and detailed explanation is in order.
